The thin client on my desk couldn't access the serial port (nice job, Wyse/SuSE). As it was on the desk right above the Fuel, I couldn't just drag in some other device... I finally sorted it out by pulling the flash DOM and booting Debian off of a thumb drive.

So, not promising. Time to start searching the forums and 'Net for these errors. Maybe take enough things out of the Fuel for a close visual inspection, and reseat a few things. And time to post this, since this Live Debian instance has already locked up on me once, losing a post...

Pulled cards, disconnected drives, changed the power plug it was plugged into.. no joy!

AND THIS IS WHAT PISSES ME OFF!!!

I don't turn it on for a few days, and then they cry like a damn baby and blow themselves up!!! It's not been moved, there are no screws floating around , there has been no power spikes.. IT's JUST HAVING A BITCH FIT BECAUSE IT FELT LEFT OUT!!! FSCKER!!!

This machine has been flawless, each day I turn it on.. and I know it's going to turn on!

Mine's not been on for weeks, maybe months - this does not bode well ... though maybe the prospect of pseudo-DCD when I come to experiment with the Dualhead2Go will be incentive enough.It has red-lighted before but recovered after a console log-in. <fingers crossed >
